Learn how to find and rescue Halsin in the Goblin Camp's Shattered Sanctum in Baldur's Gate 3. Includes combat tips and recruitment steps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate Halsin in the dungeons of the Shattered Sanctum, found in the northeastern part of the Goblin Camp, southwest of the Emerald Grove.
  2. 2
    Approach Halsin's cage, guarded by goblins One, Three, and Brawler Birka. A cutscene will trigger, and Halsin will transform into a bear to help you fight. Brawler Birka will be killed during this cutscene.
  3. 3
    Prioritize defeating One and Three, as they will attempt to summon reinforcements if they reach the southern door. They have only four health each and can be easily defeated.
  4. 4
    Next, focus on killing Beastmaster Zurk. He will join the fight regardless and may attempt to free the Worgs, Ferr and Tale, if not dealt with quickly. Zurk can also summon familiars, such as spiders, which can inflict status effects like blindness and poison.
  5. 5
    Warrior Plig will join the fight from the southwestern room. Defeat any remaining goblins and Worgs as you see fit.
  6. 6
    Once all enemies in the dungeon are defeated, speak with Halsin. You can ask him about the parasite, his ability to help, and inform him about the danger to the Emerald Grove.
  7. 7
    Halsin will offer to help you defeat the remaining goblin leaders (True Soul Gut, Dror Ragzlin, and Nightwarden Minthara) if they are still alive. Be aware that accepting his help will make all goblins in the Shattered Sanctum hostile.
  8. 8
    After the goblin leaders are defeated, Halsin will thank you and state he will meet you at the Emerald Grove. If you had already killed the leaders before finding him, he might go to the Grove immediately.
  9. 9
    Return to the Emerald Grove, speak with Halsin, and then join him at your camp to officially recruit him to your party.
Tips
  • Halsin's bear form is a powerful ally during the dungeon fight.
  • Focusing on One and Three first prevents reinforcements.
  • Beastmaster Zurk is a priority to prevent the Worgs from being freed and to stop familiar summons.
  • Be mindful that helping Halsin in the Shattered Sanctum will turn all remaining goblins hostile.
  • If you have already defeated the goblin leaders before rescuing Halsin, he will proceed directly to the Emerald Grove after you speak with him in the dungeon.
